I Wish Angelina Could Have Known Her Daddy
Larry Amador
It is still very hard for Ana Murillo to talk about what happened
in October 2000, when Larry Amador was stabbed to death by his brother-in-law.
With her 2 year old daughter, Angelina, in her arms and with Wendy
Rose at her side for support, Ana recounted through her tears how
the murderer laughed about killing Larry.
Ana and Larry had been happily planning for Angelina’s birth.
Like any pair of expectant parents, they had many hopes and dreams
for their first child’s future and for themselves. Larry worked
as a plumber while Ana was pursuing a degree in criminal justice.
But in one horrible moment, all their dreams of a long life together
were destroyed
"If I could only have three wishes, this is what they would
be," she told the listeners at the Vigil. "I wish Adrien
had gotten life in prison instead of the seven year sentence he
did receive. I would have loved for Angelina to have the chance
to know her daddy. And I wish I could have had the chance to say
good-bye."
